Cleveland Clinic Courts

Independence, Ohio USA

Cleveland Clinic Courts has set the gold standard for professional training facilities. Located on a wooded site in Independence, Ohio, the facility features rustic-contemporary wood timber and stone construction with attention focused on creating a warm atmosphere connected to its remote wooded surroundings.

The site itself is designed with environmentally conscience landscaping techniques including a recalculating retention pond with fountains. Within the building, large expanses of glass were carefully placed to take full advantage of the views, invite the exterior inside and allow for maximum day lighting potential.
Other innovative features:

  • Integrated sports medicine facility that includes direct links to the Cleveland Clinic.
  • Technology integration with flat screen televisions, iPod docking stations, video coaching capability and a team theater.
  • Two full-size practice courts
  • Full media facilities for satellite hookup and broadcast capabilities.

This facility helps put us in the position to succeed…and it’s going to pay dividends for a long, long time.
